Wolf: We're almost done this one.

Leo: Yeah, but we'll have a new one up after this one.

Wolf and Leo: We own nothing but the plot and our own crazy selves.

Silva and Kalim were finishing getting the pizza shop running when the front door opened. They looked up and their jaws dropped simultaneously as Yoh, Hao and the rest of their friends walked in.

"Hey Silva, Kalim." Yoh called, apparently holding no grudge for earlier. Yoh turned to the others. "Uhh, what do we want?" The teens all began to babble at once.

"Ok, ok, I'll order." Katie said, shoving her way to the counter. "Hi."

"Uh, hi." Silva said. Katie grinned.

"Ok, three pizzas, one with everything, one meat lovers and one plain old pepperoni." She ordered.

"Anything to drink?" Kalim asked. She grimaced and looked at the menu. "We have bottomless soft drinks."

"Oh, yeah, we'll do that." Katie said absentmindedly. Kalim quoted the price and Kaiba got out his credit card.

"The pizzas will be ready in about twenty minutes." The teens nodded and sat down.

"I really want out of this school uniform." Hao complained. Yoh nodded his agreement.

"I guess I could send Shereha home for clothes for you two." Katie said, looking up at her shadow creature. Shereha made a face.

"Oh, so now I'm the errand runner am I?" Katie raised an eyebrow. "Yes, oh mistress, I hear and obey." She said sarcastically, and disappeared. Not five seconds later the door opened again.

"Oh my god, Yoh!" Joco hurled himself at Yoh. "Oh, man, where have you been? The others told me this crazy story about how they had to kill you because you had joined Hao. And then the oracle pager tells me you and Hao are the shaman kings! What is going on with you?"

"Complete and utter chaos." Hao replied. Joco finally noticed him and jumped about five feet in the air, screaming. Katie wandered over and sat in Hao's lap.

"And they say I need to lay off the caffeine." She commented. Joco stared, open-mouthed at the sight of the human girl sitting quite calmly in Hao Asakura's lap.

"Calm down Joco, why don't you sit down, and we'll tell you what's been happening." Joco nodded and sat down.

Just then Shereha reappeared. Joco was startled out of his chair. Shereha had Mokuba and the dogs with her. She threw bundles of clothes at Hao and Yoh.

"I also brought your laptops, seeing as you would probably be going through computer withdrawn soon." Shereha said. "The kid and the dogs were having freak-outs, so I brought them along." Mika whined and wriggled over to Katie, placing her head in her lap.

"Poor baby." Katie crooned, fondling her ears. "Did we scare you?" Mika licked at her face frantically in answer. Jaz trotted up to Meg and whined at her. Meg cooed at her and rubbed her ears reassuringly Hao carefully lifted Katie off his lap and slipped off the chair, setting her back down. He and Yoh went upstairs to change.

"Uh...so how did he meet you guys?" Joco asked, looking around the circle. Meg and Katie looked at each other.

"It's a long story, better start at the beginning..."

~~~~~***~~~~~

Yoh and Hao came back down just as they were finishing up the story of how they had all met. Hao was wearing a shirt that read 'I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every second', while Yoh wore one that said 'Damn right I'm good in Bed. I can sleep all day'. Joco tentatively smiled at Hao.

"Nice shirt."

"Thanks man." Hao slid back into his seat, placing Katie in his lap once more. "They tell you?" Joco nodded. "What do you think?"

"That you people lead the craziest lives." Joco answered. They all laughed and agreed. The pizza came out and Yoh began chatting with Joco about the comedy gig he was doing.

Just then the door banged open again and the X-Laws, and Yoh's old friends and family stalked in.

"So, I see the whores are in their rightful places." Marco said. All the guys at the table snarled. Katie regarded him calmly.

"May I remind you that both these 'whores' just handed your ass to you, do you really want to provoke us?" She asked him with a raised eyebrow. To Hao she said, "Don't worry about this guy, he's not worth it." She leaned back and kissed Hao on the lips. Yoh was quietly murmuring to Meg, cooling her temper.

Mokuba then noticed Jeanne.

"Hi Jeanne." He said shyly, blushing profusely. Jeanne smiled at him, which made him blush more. Katie saw it and quietly laughed. She then began to sing

There you see her, sitting there across the way

She don't got a lot to say, but there's something about her

And you don't know why, but you're dying to try

You wanna kiss the girl

Hao joined in singing with her, his singing voice a surprisingly good husky baritone.

Yes, you want her. Look at her you know you do

Possible she wants you too, there is one way to ask her

She don't say and word and she won't say a word

Until you kiss the girl

All the teens at the table began singing the chorus.

Shalalalala my oh my

Looks like the boy's too shy

Ain't gonna kiss the girl

Shalalalala ain't that sad

It's such a shame, too bad

He gonna miss the girl

Mokuba was blushing profusely when they were done.

"You guys are jerks!" He said. They just laughed. He felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He turned to look at Jeanne. Jeanne smiled and then pecked him on the lips to a chorus of catcalls and wolf-whistles. Hao began to sing again

You took the words right outta my mouth

Oh, it musta been while you were kissin' me

You took the words right out of my mouth

Oh, I could swear it's true

I was just about to say I love you

Marco stared at Jeanne as she calmly sat down at the table beside Mokuba.

"My Lady, what are you doing?"

"Starting anew." Jeanne replied. "I do not believe that these people are a threat to us, any of them." Marco looked stunned.

"Are you crazy, girl?" Yohmei thundered. "That is Hao, your foe!"

"He's had plenty of opportunity to kill me when I was with Mokuba at their house." Jeanne replied. "Although it was your words that convinced me." She told Katie. "You asked why Hao would give his life for a whore, and the answer is that he wouldn't. You give your life for the ones that you care about." Hao nodded at her and clasped Katie's small hands in his large, graceful ones.

"Well, welcome to the group I guess." Meg said, raising her glass of Coke to Jeanne. "Let the corruption commence." The other teens roared in approval. Marco shook his head.

"This is madness."

"THIS. IS. SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!" The whole table yelled.

"Wow, loud much?" They looked to see four figures framed in the doorway. The one who had spoken was a small girl with orange hair in two spiky pigtails. A blond girl and a tall blue-haired girl stood next to her. The fourth figure spotted Hao and went running for him.

"Hao-sama!" Opacho cried, throwing herself at his legs.

"Oh dear Ra, it's a cocoa puff!" Meg cried and scooped Opacho up into her lap. "Heya small stuff, what's your name?"

"Opacho!"

"Oh, cool, I'm Meg and the girl in Hao's lap is Katie, he's her boyfriend." Opacho turned round eyes on Katie, who smiled.

"That's crazy, Hao-sama would never have a human as a girlfriend." Kanna retorted. Hao only laughed.

"Mari is confused." Mari said, watching Hao feed the dogs pieces of crust while Katie scolded him for spoiling them.

"Yeah, what gives Hao-sama?" Macchi demanded.

"Well, I'm sure everyone here has the same question, why don't we all sit down, because we're only going to tell this story once..."
